How Make Your Dress Shirts Bigger Up to 1.5 Inches!

[@Jerryrightrealty0760]

Thank you so much for this video. My wife was going to sell all my expensive dress shirts in her yard sale. I found your video and it saved me tons of money buying Pau Frederick dress shirts all over again. I did the tailoring and my wife did the sewing and adding the buttons

[@thepittipat1]

I just altered a XXL men's shirt to a shirtdress for myself but messed up and made it a skootch too small. I didn't have quite the extra fabric in the placket you did but your method worked! Now it's perfect!

[@johngriffith744]

This is brilliant, I was going to inset a narrow godet on each side, but this is so much better. Thank you

[@AspiringGent]

That works too but this looks more natural

[@judithmorales8846]

GOSHHHO THANK YOUUUU I THOUGHT I WAS SCREWEDDD , judt landed basically my dream job... they gave me very big shirts... and I somehow made them tooooooo small but this really saves my butt thank you so much

[@cyclingsubmariner]

Mate, you have just saved me thousands. I have about 10 shirts I love that can no longer fit into. Your a Legend THAKS !!!!!

[@tigergreg8]

You are so good at what you do.

[@AspiringGent]

I’ve had a lot of good teachers!

[@rendaowe]

@@AspiringGent, I absolutely love your answer, and they were lucky that you paid attention and wanted to learn or they would not have been able to teach you a thing. 😉👍🏼

[@rendaowe]

Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how happy I am to have found this site. I have a dress blouse that is about that much to tight and I didn’t want to put a gusset in the back or sides, it just would not have worked for this blouse, this way totally would though and I love all the steps that you took to make it look so professional. Great job, thank you so very much. You helped to save my problem. I’m sure glad that I found this!!!!!!!! ❤️👍🏼😎🫣

A breath of fresh air, so 😢 glad i watch this👍🏾

[@shawnu9906]

Wow, what a wonderful demonstration. My husband's dress shirts are in need of this exact adjustment, probably from the chest on down. Thanks a bunch!

[@oermama]

Thank you for showing this👍, my DH has gained weight due to medication, most of his shirts are too tight around the belly. So I did it and it looks great, I created almost 2” extra space. 🎉

[@pianohomi]

How smart! It saves a few good dress shirts of my teen son who gain some weight recently.Since he is growing every day, I’d love to use this idea to recycle his still decent but a bit tight shirts. Thanks for sharing your skill!

[@MrBurtonshaw]

Brilliant, at first I thought " oh no, the stripes will be off" ..... but it's only on the edge under the facing placket ... no problem.

[@rendaowe]

The same here, I was floored and very impressed when it came out so straight looking.

[@encapsulated_nomad1359]

yay! I'm taking my father's cool shirts that he no longer wears but they are just ever so slightly tight that when I sit I'm afraid of a button popping. I had this idea but wanted to see a video of someone else trying it to see if it worked how I thought it would and ur the only video to show it. Glad I found this, can't wait to do this alterations.

[@BackwoodsBushcraft]

Louis, this is genious! Thanks for sharing. Very creative.

[@AspiringGent]

Glad you liked it!

[@osvaldomorinigo]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was needing, I have a shirt that I really like but it's a little too tight

[@AspiringGent]

Let me know how this works!

[@lindalilly5086]

Ty. I have learned so much from you. What a blessing.

[@AspiringGent]

We are so happy to serve! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@genniferellis8489]

Amazing one is never too old to learn,

[@tonismith5678]

This is very creative! I will be incorporating this method in my alteration business. Thanks for sharing.

[@MEKKANNOID]

Not a bad idea. I will of course mean tht al the extra room is on one side and the placket will run diagonally out towards the left hip. Maybe best reserved for shirts without stripes so it isn't as obvious

[@AspiringGent]

You’d actually be surprised with how natural it looks.

[@annastebelskyj580]

That is incredibly clever. Gonna keep this one in the back of my noodle...

[@dawndais9924]

This method is so clever! Thank you.

[@jmgerraughty]

Huh! And here I thought this was just gonna be “release the darts.” Cool!

[@tchmuzk]

Absolutely amazing. I'm so impressed!!

[@michaeldignelli2152]

Genius, I am going to try this on a few of my shirts.......

[@LB-kr5ku]

First, great video and super clever. Second, can you do a video or share info on how to take in a dress shirt collar. Third, nice watch!

[@mjoe877]

Great video and thanks for sharing 👍

[@travisdavid-schauwitzer1308]

A great idea!

[@isabellasandoval5963]

Thai is funny because that’s what I had in mind for my dads shirt b it it’s nice to have a clear map instead of going with an idea

[@russellwatts9877]

Really enjoy your videos found all informative this one especially

[@mariejoollivier3756]

Merci beaucoup pour votre astuce. C'est vraiment une idée géniale 👍👍👍👍

[@Asmall722]

Very interesting video! Would this work if you did it all the way up to the top button at the collar?

[@ramloganfracic5761]

Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing Blessings

[@AspiringGent]

Happy to share!

[@sylenakerr94]

I know this question is about otherwise but I have two questions. Hi can you please tell me if the pad stitch on a lapel is permanent or is pulled out before the completion of the jacket? Does the pad stitch on the bottom piece of the lapel show on the back of the right side when the jacket is finished?

[@AspiringGent]

It does stay in the jacket!

[@gaborraczjr.5764]

That's genius! There's one thing though which I don't quite understand. From the video it looked like you only took in from the button side of the placket, which makes sense, because the holes wouldn't really let that happen on the other side. On the other hand, wouldn't this offset the lines of the shirt? Or is one inch not that much to worry about when it comes to where the side seams run on either sides? Note that I'm not in any way a taylor, just like classic style and actually have a few shirts which I would be very happy if it would be possible to do with.

[@prostowoczy2]

I think you are right but in my opinion if you wear your shirt tack in the pants it doesn't matter

[@lynamahariel]

I love this way to upsize a shirt. I just think it would bother me, that the stripes are now not straight anymore, since it's not let out from the full top but instead at the chest area. But for other prints or uni colored fabrics it would be the perfect solution. 😊

[@llouima5753]

brilliant

[@timur900subscribe]

Good stuff!

[@AspiringGent]

Appreciate it!

[@williamfahey6066]

Great video. Can a large shirt be cut down to a medium? Jeff

[@27Madable]

What if I need to let out the chest area? Do I start from the top?

[@davidroofier8675]

is it possible to also extend the chest area? how will this affect the collar?

[@THEREALSINNER247]

How would you let out for the shoulder area?

[@debbiesnyder4778]

Amazing great idea

[@clothingalterations]

Great tutorial

[@pfizkid1]

How would you enlarge (square) the drooping shoulder section?

[@prostowoczy2]

thanks! what if the collar is too tight also?

[@dutifer]

How do you add for the sleeves?

[@maried3717]

Excellent!

[@giovannirevilla2638]

Very nice!💯

[@dr.amandeep4452]

Thanks

[@Veryberryrosie]

That is amazing.

[@JuanPerez-iu9vk]

Thank you

[@caffeinatedtailor]

Ayo your channel trailer has a typo. " being some life into this dying art of tailoring" (I'll delete the comment if you get it fixed, I just figured you should know)

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Excellent! Exactly the idea I needed! Leaving a like and comment for the Almighty Algorithm for you. 😁 ❤❤

[@buddy77587]

Fabulous! Your bad ass

[@rubyre-dooz1519]

Question, is there a reason why not to sew buttons on before folding back placket, so to hide the button stitches?

[@eyeswideshut7354]

*To

[@rendaowe]

Btw, I SUBSCRIBED, you may just be able to teach me something else.
